Happy Meatless Monday. I have missed sharing with you in daily blog posts and am so glad to be back here again with Exploits friends. We were without internet access throughout our entire trip.

Happy Meatless Monday. While preparing for another Meatless Monday Meals to Go, we decided to prepare an early vegan Thanksgiving for our clients. It was much like the regular spread, using a Tofurky roast, roasted vegetables, gravy and a zesty cranberry orange sauce. To finish the meal, we decided to make a lighter, edgy version […]

There is nothing in there you are willing to put yourself through, so you go without. You look up toward the heavens, angrily pumping […]

Photo By: S. Duquet Happy Meatless Monday. I have been curious about fennel. People that like it really seem to like it. It is more exotic than ordinary and I find its flavor kind of aggressive in a sexy way. With its bizarre looks and piquant attitude, fennel is definitely the mysterious guest at the […]

I love peanut butter. I love it like an addiction, something I can’t live without….like air. I crave desserts made with it, enjoy entrees created with it and enjoy it sitting atop a huge soup spoon. I usually enjoy that last one when no one is home like its a fifth of vodka hidden in […]
